The rapid pace of life makes it difficult for many people to maintain a healthy diet, and it seems almost unattainable. Daily tasks, work, school, or education require a lot of time, leaving little time to prepare balanced meals. In such situations, more and more people are turning to catering services to ensure a healthy diet. Unfortunately, this is a significant expense that not everyone can afford. In this case, meal prepping can be helpful, which involves preparing meals for several days in advance.
What does the term "meal prep" mean
"Meal prep" is a term derived from English that means "meal preparation". It is a process that involves cooking larger quantities of food several days in advance and dividing it into portions stored in plastic containers. However, it is important to note that it is not the only method of meal preparation. Another popular option is to cook large quantities of food and freeze it in a few servings that can then be extracted individually for several months. A third method is to prepare all the necessary ingredients for cooking meals, such as chopped vegetables or cut meat. All these methods serve to shorten the time spent in the kitchen and speed up the cooking process. Many people choose this scheme because it typically takes them 2-3 hours a week. According to a study, Poles spend between 45 and 90 minutes a day preparing meals and cleaning up after them, which is three times more than when meal prepping.
